Hints

Easy money

Grind in one of the levels for maximum experience and get the Elfstone Of Congeniality. It will give you a 10% discount on items. Equip ten of them, totaling 100% off. You can now get anything from the store for about 1 silver coin. You can sell your most expensive item for 30,000, then buy it back for 1 silver coin, then sell it again for 30,000. The best place to do this is in the Ettenmoors. The specific time to begin grinding for the Elfsones Of Congeniality is immediately after a save point, when the character Andriel says "I see sunlight ahead." To be exact, the first two Orcs are archers that you will kill. Kill everything and loot the bodies, but do not continue past the save point of the wooden gates. Go back to the nearest Fast Travel, and go to Rivendell and repeat the process.

In Fornost: Citadel, after dropping the ward and entering the castle there is a treasure chest and a cluster of breakable boxes alongside a travel hub. Loot the chest, smash the boxes, then use the hub to travel to Bree. You will arrive in Bree with your loot. Turn around and travel back. You will be in the same location, and the boxes and chest will have respawned. Repeat the process as many times as desired to accumulate coins and rare items.

Go to Fornost, and progress after the fire barrier entrance where the elf brothers must unseal the fire door to the tower while you protect them. After defeating the ogre and successfully protecting the brothers, you will be in a foyer area with two boxes and a chest to the right, and a teleport to the left. Do not proceed with the brothers. Instead, destroy the boxes and open the chest. Then, teleport to the town of Bree and teleport back to Fornost. There the chest and boxes will havee respawned with different items.

Easy "Against All Odds" achievement or trophy

Select Farin the Dwarf to get access to his Explosive Bolt skill. Obtain a good crossbow and spend points into Dexterity. When set up, Explosive Bolt can do a blast of at least 100,000 damage over an area of effect. This will allow Legendary mode to be completed easier.

Easy "Herb-master" achievement or trophy

Play as the female elf Lore-Master. Alternately, change characters to the Lore-Master at the start of Fornost. As you progress you will find several herbs. Instead of continuing to the next section, return to Bree then go back to Fornost. All the herbs will have respawned. Repeat the process until you have enough herbs to create fifteen potions.
